Gewalt gegenüber Familien

Autor(en)

Abstrakt

When we talk about violence in the context of the family, we mostly consider violence within families. A fair amount of studies have analyzed this phenomenon. This article, however, deals with forms of structural and cultural violence families encounter in our societies. First, we will clarify conceptions on violence, especially on structural and cultural violence. Then, we will talk about the structural, cultural and individual processes of pluralization in our modern society and about the way these processes affect families. Finally, we will point out the crucial aspects of cultural and structural violence that families encounter. These aspects have proven to make it difficult for people to found a family to begin with and for already existing families to survive. In a theological-ethical perspective, we have to call for a responsible family policy and make sure that marriage and family is encouraged in its specific dignity and logic.
